To Our Venerable Brother Michael

Health and Apostolic BencdiCtion. Your
letter, dated the second day Of April last
has reached US, In which you lament the
contumacious disobedicnce of priest,
one of your subjects, not only toward
yourself, but also toward this apostolic
see; and anxiously seek TO bring before
the supreme tribunal Of our authority the
false doctrines concerning the right Of
property disseminated by him among the
people in newspapers and In public assem-
bles. We therefore, moved by these. your
words. expressed to us with just grief
of heart and In the conscious discharge
Of duty, having accurately considered
the whole series of facts from tho begin
ming, and have especially seen with com
mendation your tlrmncss, Joined with sig
NIL charity. II has been indeed great
grief to us to see the rebellion which has
arisen against your authority In your
city, through tho deeds Of some, their
craftily devised Vaccinations, and the
open conspiracy Of factous men, and our
anguish has been all the greater, since
from information lately conveyed to Us
we have learned that there are some Of
the clergy imbucd with the doctrines
of this priest who baye not hesitnted
to adhere to him, although the clergy
generally of the whole diocese and the
greater part of the laity gladly remained
with unchanged and faithful obedience
and loyalty to you.
1t Is, indeed grateful to us and approx
cd by us that you have labored to crush,
ere these sprang up, the vicious seeds OF
doctrines scattered under pretext Of help
ing the masses. Nor Is II less to your
praise that with long suffering and pa
thence you have not ceased with watchful
industry to cain these proud and restless
spirits, although they have not refrained
from ISLANDERS and rcproaches against you
and this apostolic see. 1t Is fitting then
that you should be of good heart and
with unwayering frmncss apply all your
strength to the working OF the salvation
Of souls, and in defending the sanctity OF
faith and discipline. Nevertheless, led
by Christian charity, you will leave
nothing untried that, with paternal be-
ncvolencc, you may embrace those who
are deceived by this new doctrine II they
return to wiser counsels. e..
We, however, will never permit any
injury to your good name and dignity.

to you through the sacred congregation
Of the propaganda, timely measures fol
the correction Of the rebellious, Mean
time we earnestly pray the God Of conso
lation that He console you, venerable
brother, tried by too many cares. and a
pledge Of His divine favor, and a proof
Of our special affection for you. We
lovingly bestow upon you, the clergy and
the people committed to your care, the
apostolic benediction.
